Speaking of Mastodon, there was a barge named “Mastodon” that, prior to The Huey P Long Bridge, ferried railroad cars from Avondale on the West Bank to Harahan on the East Bank. #NOLA #Louisiana #USA #Earth #ThirdRock.

@Lowie @PandaChronicle Wordpress is joining the Fediverse. That may have something to do with the numbers, but they've been going up consistently for quite a while now.

And Eugene is getting married, so maybe this is just well-wishers. 💝

The Constitution doesn't mention abortion nor corporations. Yet so-called originalists have consistently placed the rights of corporations ahead of the rights of women, privacy, and families.

For #ThrowbackThursday, I love going through my archive (over 68,000 photos) and reminiscing. This image is from a week-long trip to Portugal that my friend Josh and I took. We rented a car in Lisbon and headed for the coast to soak up the sun and sights. We visited this Fort to absorb the history on the cliffs, this fellow had other plans. #fishinglife #travelphotography #portugal

This afternoon’s patrol has taken us beyond our borders and to The Forsaken Land of the Dead Leaves. While I know that Beto’s nose and instincts must take him wherever they lead, and while I would bravely follow him into the murkiest, most deadly alligator-infested waters… I’m wearing flip-flops and I don’t wanna get bitten by a snake today 😰

@doctorjaymarie oh, that's a great point. I'm personally guilty of thinking we'd turned a corner by having Obama at the helm for two terms. I severely misjudged how great the blowback and whitewashing would be.

Hopefully we're coming to the end of all that again.

How can we guard against this kind of recoil and retaliation next time? We need to change the cycle!

Raccoon dogs are more similar to foxes than to domesticated dogs. Data that suggested a link between raccoon dogs and the origins of the COVID pandemic was removed from an international database. t.co/w6FnW86BD2
